In the samples open dialog box (everything that uses samples), I can no longer go backwards like I can in the regular file open dialog box. The "..." folder option is missing. Now I can't go back to the main Deflemask directory tree of samples to which the program defaults, and that's no good. Much hair will be lost, as it will be pulled out for sheer frustration by most, causing patch baldness.

Well, I think I prefer the old default skin, and I'm glad you kept it as one of the options. I feel like the background is too bright now though, and I think moving the options around wasn't the greatest idea... I don't use the custom stuff and the checkboxes as much, so I feel they would be better off farther away from the pattern matrix than the speed and especially octave settings.

Regarding the new UI: I like the idea of a simpler, high contrast skin, and the use of colour to help things stand out (blue for the instrument editor, for example) is very pleasing to the eye.

I also like how you've moved the waveform viewer into the middle, and having the Option/Disk Op./etc. buttons right next to the Pattern Matrix is a good move too. With the song options, I'm not sure about having the "+/-" buttons to the left of the names - I think having the controls next to the numbers was better. Having the current system/song information displayed all together on the far right is another good idea, though.

I do like the new UI, although I will have to second Heavy Viper's statement regarding the +/- buttons. I do like the new skin as it provides the sort of minimalism that I'm used to in trackers. I also made a new skin for those missing the mask.

I do like the beta layout and skin, don't know about efficiency of the check boxes changes etc but, for me, the interface looks better due to the more "elegant" feel provided by the minimalist approach. The mask is gone for better, having it on the intro though is still stylish.

3 little kinks I keep running into:1. I've noticed that when you change the number in the pattern editor, on any platform, the position jumps to the bottom of the pattern.2. At times I click on a row only for the rest of the pattern below it to be selected, and no matter how many times I try, the same thing happens. 3. Sometimes when I click on the pattern scroll bar, the program stops, and the only way to get past it is by using the mouse wheel to scroll it.If you could work out these little kinks that would be great! Thanks!
